The Milky Way galaxy is real, as is the Andromeda Galaxy.

Something like 70,000 light years apart.

What special kind of Space Magic is Bioware going to dream up to get us from MW to Andromeda?

We will have to wait and see, I'm afraid. There're a few other threads speculating about. A recent one, based on the cerberus network claims that eezo can turn black holes into wormholes. Here > http://forum.bioware...les-apparently/

 

They basically can say anything they want. Hey, they came with the Crucible in ME3, I wont be surprised by anything regarding this matter in ME:A.

It could be the discovery of a new mass relay, it could be that eezo-wormhole thing, etc

A popular Theory revolves around an ARK, that may be a Colony Ship, Sleeper Ship or even Generation Ship.

It's a lot more that that. I did a little math, and learned that if you were to ask an Australian taxi driver to take you to the Andromeda galaxy, at the end of the trip you would owe him or her $337876010000000000000 AUD.

 

Chances are they would die before you're able to pay them, so that's a bonus.

Yeah, the distance is more like 2.5 million light years from Earth.

 

Although, using the standard drives from Mass Effect that would take only 570 years.

70,000 light years wont even get you out of the Milky Way, if you were traveling in the galactic plane.

Andromeda is 2.5 million Ly away...

Space is real big, man. Like, unfathomably big.

So it's basically the same as crossing the red center from east to west, is what you are saying.

that looks a lot like the standard FTL drives. (remember the effect on the cockpit windows?)

 

It might also be something new, but it's probably just the artists showing off the new engine.

...thats the Stargate wormhole animation.

The only thing it is showing off is early 2000's special effects.

whoops, but it looks very similar to the animation shown in the E3 trailer.

I can see the similarity. I think the trailer was largely stylized for rule of cool though. ME1 did a similar thing with the Noveria-Caleston trailer, if I remember correctly.

It's becoming more and more apparent, 

 

ARK ship + Wormhole + Flee before ending of ME3 - ME3 Endings = Andromeda galaxy.

If wormhole theory is to be believed, they need to make it a one-way trip.  For example. Once the ark ship(s) enter the wormhole, you then "collapse" the wormhole, so the Reapers can't follow you through.

What a depressing equation.

You can't move a ship to Andromeda that fast. It is impossible. What you need is an engine that can move the universe around the ship.

If it means anything, it takes a special kind of space magic to get a ship to travel from one side of the galaxy to the other within an earth day, rather than several life times. If we already accept the ability to cover hundreds of thousands of lightyears relatively instantaneously, does it really strain our suspension of belief that much more to go a bit faster?

With a wormhole, you dont have to. The voyage is not instantaneous as the wormhole itself is a region of space time with distance, but it can be viewed as relatively instantaneous compared to trucking it to Andromeda the hard way.

"Space," it says, "is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist, but that's just peanuts to space. Listen..."
